Who We Are
Movement starts with a vision—a bold hope for something better.
​
Amarapave was created to do more than pave roads. We imagined an industry where diversity isn’t just encouraged, it thrives. A place where opportunities abound, inclusion is the standard, and everyone feels they truly belong.
The name Amara carries meanings from across the world: everlasting, grace, kindness, and resilience. These aren’t just ideals to us, they’re the foundation of who we are and the culture we’re building every day.
We’re not here to follow the status quo. We’re here to reshape it. With a values-driven approach, we’re fostering gender equality and driving real cultural change in an industry ready for transformation. And every step of the way, we deliver professional services that uphold the highest standards of safety, quality, and integrity.
Because when people, purpose, and progress come together, extraordinary things happen.
Our Founders
We didn’t start Amarapave because it was easy. We started it because it mattered.
The asphalt industry has given us both so much, a sense of purpose, a career we’re proud of, and the satisfaction of seeing a job well done. But we’ve also seen the gaps. We’ve seen who gets left out and how much better this industry could be if it embraced diversity, inclusion, and opportunity for everyone.
We bring different strengths to this mission. Jenika’s experience as Chief Operating Officer of a leading Victorian asphalt company has shaped her into a strategic leader who knows how to build teams and drive change from the top. Ash’s time in the field as an asphalter and plant operator brings the heart of the work to life, with hands-on expertise and a deep respect for the craft.
Together, we’re determined to prove that the asphalt industry can do better and be better. Amarapave is about more than paving roads. It’s about creating pathways for people who have been overlooked for far too long.
This is our why. And this is only the beginning.
Jenika & Ash

Our inspiration is to abolish gender-bias and empower minorities in the pavement industry promoting equality and respect.
Our Mission
At Amarapave, we are here to do two things: deliver exceptional asphalt paving and create opportunities for those who’ve been left out of the conversation.
Our mission is simple: to reshape the industry by making it more inclusive, more equitable, and more reflective of the communities we serve. We believe diversity isn’t just something to aim for—it’s what drives stronger teams, better results, and a brighter future.
We’re not just building roads. We’re building workplaces where women, non-binary people, and others can thrive. We’re creating pathways for the next generation of tradespeople and proving that excellence and inclusion go hand in hand.
This is about more than paving. It’s about creating a better way forward.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a transformative shift in the Asphalt pavement industry by developing a new generation of asphalters where diversity thrives, opportunities abound, and inclusive excellence becomes the norm.
